    Notes: Summary The effects of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on the three components of K+ uptake in human red cells have been investigated, using ouabain and bumetanide to distinguish between the pump, passive diffusion and cotransport. The pressure sensitivity for passive diffusion has been shown to depend on the counter-ion present. The order of this effect, Cl−〉Br−〉NO 3 − 〉I−, is the same as for the ionic partial modal volumes and the Hofmeister series. We have analyzed our experimental results thermodynamically, and propose a model for the activated transition-state complex of the potassium ion which involves the loss of water molecules from the secondary hydration shell, cosphere II.

    Notes: Summary Members of four homologous series of tetra-alkyl ammonium bromides (R 3N+(CH2) n−1·CH3Br− whereR=H, CH3 or C2H5 andR′N+H3Br− whereR′ represents the isomeric butyl series) have been synthesized and tested as sodium pump inhibitors, measured as ouabain-sensitive K+ influx, and as hemolytic agents on human red cells. Potency for both effects is presented graphically, plotting the logarithm of the concentration for half maximal effect against alkyl chain length. Both hemolysis and pump inhibition studies yielded a biphasic response consisting of two good straight lines, with effectiveness increasing up to C10–12 and then remaining constant up to C20. For hemolysis the alkyl ammonium series was most effective. The calculated free-energy change per methylene group was the same for three series of compounds, but the free-energy contribution from the headgroup was lower for the ammonium series. In contrast, although pump inhibition studies also yielded simple biphasic plots, inhibition occurred at 3- to 50-fold lower concentrations and there were significant differences between the three series, both in the free-energy changes per methylene group and in the headgroup contributions. We have analyzed these results thermodynamically to take account of hydrophobic interactions and the conformation of the alkyl chains.

    Notes: Summary Antibodies of two specificities in alloimmune sheep anti-L sera, anti-L P and anti-L l , were separated by a new technique and characterized. Absorption of anti-L serum with trypsinized LK (LL) sheep red cells left anti-L P antibodies; the absorbed anti-L l antibodies were then eluted. Anti-L P was only weakly lytic in the presence of complement; it had no effect on passive K influx, but stimulated active K influx. The stimulation could be reversed by eluting the antibody in glycine buffer at low pH. Stimulatory activity in the eluted cells could be restored by resensitization with anti-L P . Anti-L l was more strongly lytic than anti-L P in the presence of complement; it had no effect on active K influx, but inhibited passive K influx. Pig anti-ruminant IgG conjugated to hemocyanin was used to visualize by electron microscopy the number of L P and L l antigen sites onLL sheep red cells sensitized with anti-L P and anti-L l . The values obtained were 590 L P sites/cell and 847 L l sites/cell.

    Notes: Summary When bathed on both sides with identical chloride-containing salines thein vitro preparation of the plaice intestine maintains a negative (serosa to mucosa) short-circuit current of 107±11 μA/cm2, a transepithelial potential difference of 5.5±0.6 mV (serosa negative), and a mean mucosal membrane potential of −45.4±0.6 mV. Under these conditions the intracellular chloride activity is 32mm. If chloride in the bathing media is partially, or completely substituted by thiocyanate the measured electrical parameters do not change but transepithelial flux determinations show a reduction in chloride fluxes and the presence of a significant thiocyanate flux. The addition of piretanide (10−4 m) reduced the short-circuit current and the mucosa-to-serosa fluxes of chloride and thiocyanate; this inhibition is similar to the effect of piretanide on chloride transport in this tissue. The results indicate that thiocyanate is transported in this tissue via the piretanide-sensitive “chloride” pathway and are compared with the effects of thiocyanate on other tissues reported in the literature.

    Notes: [Auszug] Surprisingly few data are available on the effects of temperature on Na and K transport in human erythrocytes. This may be due in part to the presence of at least three components of Na and K movement in human red cells. These can be resolved as the ouabain-sensitive Na-K pump1'2, the ...

    Notes: Summary Ouabain-sensitive K influx was measured at 5°C and 37°C in red cells from seven species of mammals known to hibernate, and nine species of non-hibernators. Care was taken to saturate the internal and external cation sites of the sodium pump, and maintain the cell metabolism. Species variation in ouabain-resistance among rodents was also taken into account. In six out of seven species of hibernators the pump was relatively insensitive to lowering the temperature, the ratio of activity at 5°C/37°C being 〉1.8%. By contrast eight of the nine non-hibernator species gave a ratio 〈1.8%. The two exceptions were the hamster, which gave a ratio of 0.8% as a hibernator, and the mole which gave a ratio of 3% as a non-hibernator. No similar correlation was observed for the ouabain-insensitive K influx, in either groups of animals. It is concluded that cold tolerance of the sodium pump is a general but not essential property of hibernator red cells.
